NEW YORK — A 12-year-old boy from Massachusetts caught a great white shark while on a fishing charter in Florida.

Campbell Keenan spent 45 minutes fighting to reel in the fish before it was close enough for him to see what kind it was.

"When you pull the rod up, it was like lifting a 50-pound weight," Campbell said."It was so hard to pull up." Campbell said they did not pull the shark into the boat because there are regulations in the U.S. against taking great whites out of the water, as the captain advised them, but they pulled the shark in close enough for the captain to tag it, before releasing it.

Supreme Court turns down request from New York firearms dealers to block new gun lawThe order comes days after the Supreme Court allowed New York's new gun restrictions to remain in place. Apparently blue states are so irredeemably violent that no New York citizen can be trusted with their Second Amendment rights. 🤣 No more guns in New York? That’ll be the day. I’ve seen movies. This Supreme Court is best we’ve had in decades. Hard to predict what they will do on almost any issue. Seems they are following the law.

Supreme Court rejects New York gun retailers' bid to block new concealed carry lawsThe U.S. Supreme Court rejected a request from New York gun dealers on Wednesday to block a slew of gun control laws implemented by the state's legislature last year. It isn’t a coincidence that the most authoritarian districts during covid have the strictest gun laws. Well. Isn't that interesting. The left is just terrified that our citizens would wage war on them w/guns. They are at war w/our citizens for control of this country. I personally have no desire to own a gun but we do have the Constitutional right to bear arms.
